The post received a lot of love from social media users and soon went viral.

“This is so wholesome,” a user wrote. Another user commented, “Thanks legend.”

“Good Samaritan -- Good Pet-aritan. The legend, sir Tata,” a third user remarked. “This melted my heart like butter,” a fourth user added.

Meanwhile, according to a report by Times of India, the hospital will be inaugurated in March and is located in Mahalaxmi, Mumbai. It had always been Tata’s dream to open a world-class animal hospital in India.

“A pet is no different from a member of one’s family today. As the guardian of several pets throughout my life, I recognise the need for this hospital,” the 86-year-old said.

In conversation with Times of India, he recalled a time he had to fly a pet to the University of Minnesota for a joint replacement.  “But I was too late, and so they froze the dog's joint in a particular position. That experience enabled me to see what a world-class veterinary hospital was equipped to do,” he said.

The Tata Trusts Small Animal Hospital was built at a cost of Rs 165 crore and is a five-storey structure. It has a capacity of housing 200 patients. The team of doctors will be led by Thomas Heathcote, a British veterinarian who has relocated to Mumbai for the hospital.
